So I was supposed to have a bit of a group ride this evening. lit up bikes, a party after, all organized and crap.
however, due to weather. it might be pushed to next week. not TYPICALLY a big deal
HOWEVER.
Next week I (was supposed to) go to a nostagia concert (Aqua, Nsync, right said Fred and Vengaboys)
Which i…
So, Lets re count what bikes and what condition:
Newest addition: 1992 Honda CBR250RR
status: leaks fork oil. need brakes, suspension, tires, exhaust system. The body work
even longer since I had the chance to REALLY take it out for a solid, 8/10ths + ride to let it breath, strech its legs and carve some corners. This was a ramp that I bombed by and a few friends happened to be hanging out to video tape one of THEIR buddies coming through
but this was too good to not have on my own page
Got the nose of the yellow bike swapped from the destroyed gen 1 nose to a slightly less damaged gen 2 nose. Still not really happy with it if I’m honest. I’ll have to order a new nose cone, and get a new fairing stay as well. some other odd and ends here and there. forks need to come off.
Also managed to find that…
but holy SHIT does this thing REV. I love it.
to do list for this one:
fix front brakes. -they are there...but feel wooden as fuck. No bueno.
suspension- its a 250 from the 90s. its not set up for me
tires- This thing is on shitty bridgestones from 2015. must replace
exhaust- its stock. I must unleash the full 19K RPM
…
I the red line of my latest addition. So tiny and so smooth.
06, 40K km, some slight cosmetic issues.
or just Peter re-organizing the garage? you decide
So, as a good chunk of you know, I was planning on repainting my 1994 VFR as part of its restoration. It was going to be in the old rothmans racing colors. I had set aside $3500 to get it professionally done, and make it all pretty and shit.
oh my.
welcome back, ZX-10R. BRRRAAAAPPPPPPPPP
Did another 5-600 KM on the daytona. Hit up some local twisties I havent been to in a while.
Havent fixxed the leak yet, though the seals showed up yesterday so I CAN do that now. Assuming it IS the countershaft seal.
Also need to adress the vibration in the front end. I have a feeling its a slightly out of round…
UURRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG
SO BRITISH
yea I’m gaining an affinity for the older XJR’s. do want. long, low, classy brute in a suit.
GROM SIDE CAR. OH MY GOD. I NEED IT
the passing of one of motor racings greatest. I know what I will be watching tonight.
the 300 is back! now with an OBNOXIOUSLY loud exhaust. But its oh so much fun to rip through traffic on this little guy. and the fact that a $15 tank of gas takes me for the week is a great plus too
